Lithia Springs Ford – What to Know About the 2026 Ford Mustang

The 2026 Ford Mustang brings the soul of a classic performance icon into a new era, fusing a muscular stance with modern engineering and immersive technology. From its unmistakable silhouette to its driver-focused cockpit, this Mustang is built to deliver engaging dynamics, stunning style, and everyday usability. Whether you are coming from a past Mustang or stepping into your first one, you will find a lineup that makes it easy to match your lifestyle with the right blend of power, refinement, and features.

At Lithia Springs Ford, we welcome enthusiasts who want a car that is as expressive as it is capable. The lineup covers an impressive range: a turbocharged EcoBoost that excels in daily driving, a GT with the legendary 5.0L V8 for purists who crave a manual gearbox and a deep exhaust note, and the track-oriented Dark Horse that elevates precision and stamina with specialized hardware. Manual or automatic, fastback or convertible—the choices are thoughtfully curated, and the chassis tuning rewards confident drivers with balance, grip, and feedback.

Design that broadcasts intent: The 2026 Mustang refines its aggressive face with crisp lighting signatures and sculpted bodywork that looks purposeful from every angle. New colors help you personalize your presence—look for striking shades such as Orange Fury Metallic Tri-coat and Adriatic Blue Metallic alongside returning favorites. Available appearance and performance packages add darkened accents, aero pieces, distinctive wheels, and track-minded upgrades, so your Mustang can be as subtle or as extroverted as you want.

Tech that puts you in command: Inside, a panoramic, driver-centric display pairs a generous center touchscreen with a configurable digital cluster, giving you intuitive control of audio, navigation, and performance settings. Wireless connectivity, over-the-air update capability, and advanced driver-assistance features amplify convenience without dulling the car’s edge. From customizable drive modes to available adaptive damping, you can tailor steering, throttle, and ride character for weekday commutes or weekend backroads with just a few taps.

Frequently Asked Questions:

When can I see the 2026 Mustang in person?

Availability varies by trim and build mix. Connect with our team for current timelines, incoming allocations, and options to custom order the exact configuration you want. We can also notify you as soon as specific colors or packages are scheduled to arrive.

Which trims are best for daily driving versus track use?

EcoBoost models balance efficiency and punch for everyday use, while GT models elevate engagement with V8 power and available performance packages. The Dark Horse is engineered for track-capable endurance and precision. We can help you test key differences in ride, sound, and responsiveness.

Is a manual transmission available?

What in-cabin tech stands out most?

The wide, integrated display experience, customizable drive modes, and robust connectivity set the tone. You can personalize cluster visuals, adjust vehicle dynamics, and tap into navigation and media with ease—helping the car adapt to your driving style rather than the other way around.

How do I begin a custom order?

Start by sharing your preferred trim, color, wheels, and packages. We will confirm availability, outline estimated timing, and lock in your build. If you want to compare a few configurations, we can model them side by side and schedule back-to-back test drives.
